In recent years, rankings of colleges and universities have proliferated, particularly rankings issued by news media. Undergraduate rankings focus on the four undergraduate schools of the University, while graduate and professional rankings can include all seven schools. The relatively small number of rankings by academic organizations focus primarily on graduate and professional education. This compendium of all these rankings includes most but not all recently published sources. More complete information can be obtained on the Web sites of many of these sources.
